A nice west coast IPA as I have been drinking a lot of haze lately. Pours a dark golden to copper color. Nice fluffy white head. Nose is of citrus and pine. Taste of grapefruit, oranges and pine gum. A nice well balanced malt presence. Mouthfeel has a light bit of stickyness that quickly fades to a nice dry crisp finish. Excellent finish to this one.

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium coppery amber with a two finger white head with great retention and lots of thick lacing. Aroma is just what I'm looking for: caramel malt, piney and citrus hops, hints of stone and tropical fruit. Flavor is mildly caramel malt, resinous, but not intense, piney and citrus hops, tropical fruit, lemon and orange. Finishes with smooth resinous piney and citrus hops. Great medium body with pleasant creaminess, great mouth feel. My first reaction to the first sip, was "smooth", everything seems in harmony, great balance of hops and malt. The malt feels substantial and has a light caramel component, but its flavor melds with the other parts. I expected a little more intense hoppiness, but for an IPA this balanced, I'm willing to enjoy everything else. My second Melvin and I'm very impressed.

Poured into a tulip a very nice clean/clear dark orange color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy HUGE two-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some very nice thick/creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, slight malt note, very nice citrus note, nice piney note. The taste is very nice hoppy, slightly malty, with a very nice touch of citrus, pretty nice pineyness. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, a little chewyness as well, with a very nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, another awesome brew from Melvin. Highly Recommended!

Gorgeously effervecent on the pour, bubbles that make it sparkle! Absolutely Beautiful beer. About 1cm white head. Good balance of citrus and tropical fruits. very aromatic, with aroma on the tropical side. Tasty! It’s been my recent go to ipa.

About a month old-
L- a dull orange (not my favorite) but tons of sticky lacing.
S- sugary orange,pine and some ripe fruit (like peach)
T- caramelized hops up front (sweet citrus and pine) with a lingering moderate grapefruit bitterness. Well balanced, juicy and very drinkable as it masks the ABV quite well.
F- not dry, stays on the tongue with sticky, sweet biterness.
O -top notch IPA, would love to try this within a couple weeks of canning but at a month in still one of the best IPA's you can get in CO. Trying Melvin's lineup has been a real treat.

Pours clear gold in color with one inch head.Taste is herbal hops and melon. Medium bodied and carbonation slightly bitter. Makes for a great introduction to the brewery. Will try others from them. Solid ipa.

This is a great IPA! Poured into a pint glass, 1 finger off white head with nice lacing. It is a honey color amber. Smells of peach, and hops. Tastes amazing, hops up front then smooth fruity with a bitter finish. This has become one of my favored IPAs, a little smoother whole feel. Hard to explain. Sweeter than Odell’s or Sierra Nevadas Torpedo which are 2 of my favorites.
